Re: Dream Lover

where are the cymbals - i hear them and see the drummer reach for them ...but don't see them ?

Great song though Russell - well played.

The saturation point on my video program is sensitive and I missed it I applied to much when I faded the green screen out thanks for pointing that out and next time I will pay more attention to detail smile

Re: Dream Lover

Russell,
I hope you don't think I was criticizing it - I actually thought there was something wrong with my video player on my computer. smile 
Your technological abilities are way beyond my capabilities.

You guys really have it going ! It must be a blast!    I certainly wish that I could play and sing as well you .

Keep'em coming Russell ( with or without the cymbals!)  I enjoy your performances

Jim

Jim I didn't think that you were criticizing and I am glad you pointed it out ok smile One thing about our band is we will try anything if it sounds good, I learned all the guitar parts for Kashmir a song by Led Zepplin we did a quick run through but have to solve a small problem the bass player will have to loop the keyboard part and i have to grow another brain to sing the lyrics and play counter to it on my guitar but non the less we will do it. I keep the camera running and some of the most outrageous moments happen before and after the song starts but the language is not fit for family viewing lol

Re: Dream Lover

Russell ...

I hear you loud & clear about trying to sing & play "Kashmir" at the same time ... a bit of schizophrenia might be handy! lol I came up with a somewhat simplified arrangement of it (played in A) which can be done in standard tuning, and sung along to a bit easier. The basic riff involves using your A-string as the drone, and working up the G-string with the note progression, while hitting the open D along with the progression, and alternately striking the open A. It works well on acoustic, and also suits my vocal register a bit better ... give it a try.

TF there are workarounds to Kasmir I watched a few but none really capture the aggressive feeling as the Led Zep version which is why I chose to do theirs, one advantage is I am using my Gibson Les Paul  it has the perfect tone for this song not to mention the auto tuners I can dial up the tuning with the push of a button  and the main reason is it presents a challenge smile

I completely agree, Russell ...

The original version in DADGAD tuning is the best. I'm just too lazy to tune / retune for one song. lol Also, this abbreviated version of mine sounds (to my ears) better on an acoustic than does the original. That was the main reason I wanted a work-a-round, i.e., for an acoustic version in standard tuning, that enabled me to sing along easier while playing it.

I can't wait to hear yours!

we get together next tuesday I think charting out the arrangement will make it easier for me to remember or just re-arranging it because some of it is redundant,keep in mind this was performed for a live concert audience before it was recorded and the arrangement is a little different so no reason I cant take a little liberty just as long as the lyrics are there and the different sections of the song are also
